Botanical name: Citrus sinensis.

The sweet orange fruit tree is an ancient cultivar born of a pomelo & a mandarin, originating in the Malay Archipelago, a group of islands between mainland Indochina and Australia.

Since being introduced to the Americas & the Mediterranean Basin of Europe, they have flourished for centuries.

The name “Orange” though it obviously describes it's color, actually relates to its fragrance! Whereby ancient Sanskrit names for citrus, share the same root word "Narantum" which means pleasant fragrance! The word migrated further to the Arabic "Naranja" & the Spanish "Naranja". Later still, the English dropped the “n” and began using the word “orange” to describe the colour instead.

And who isn't uplifted by the cheerful colour & delectable fragrance of a fresh sweet orange?!

Our sweet orange oil is expressed from the fresh peel of orange fruits organically grown in Italy & Brazil.{Certified organic by the Soil Association}

Botanical name: Cananga odorata

Cananga Odorata’s familiar name Ylang ylang is from the Tagalog word “ilang” which means wilderness.

The wildernesses it refers to are the Canaga trees native home, the tropical wild forests of the Philippines, Indonesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Java, Sumatra & the Comoro Islands where it both still grows wild & is now also cultivated.

It Is also organically cultivated in Madagascar. This is where our Ylang ylang essential oil is harvested & distilled using traditional methods of steam distillation to obtain the exquisite aroma from the delicate, hand-picked flowers.

The unforgettable deep, sweet scent given by the flowers is prized by natural perfumers and has become a worldwide favourite for its ability to alter the mood: easing symptoms & effects of anxiety, stress, nervous tension & depression, enhancing relaxation & aiding sleep with its almost sedative aroma, with the added quality of being an aphrodisiac!

Ylang-ylang can be found in some of our perfume formulas, to which it brings a clean, exotic floral note. You can experience it in the complex scent profile of some of our In.Fluence Mood Mists: Dawn Garden, Radiant, Canyon & Homey, where again, its influence on the fragrance, in turn, influences our mind & mood with its properties & qualities.
